Imagine you’re an occasional seller of Scout patches on eBay but have no significant knowledge how to identify items or what the various rare patches are worth. You list your items with a $4.99 start bid. Then you run across one that inexplicably sells for much more: $9,102.27! That’s what happened with this lot (screen shot).
The seller’s lack of knowledge about this patch could have allowed someone to get a great patch for a song. Luckily for him he knew just enough to include the lodge and council name in the auction title and description!
As I’m behind on adding data to my price guide Bill Mulrenin scooped me on this story, too. This is the first recorded sale I have for this classic piece of memorabilia from Illinois.
